The Mini-F (ミニF) is a series of mini racing car introduced by Tamiya in December 1991. It was introduced during the Formula One racing boom in the same year.
Whereas the Original Mini 4WD cars and Racing Mini 4WD cars were based on the real-life vehicles and R/C buggies respectively, the Mini-F cars were based on the licensed Formula One cars from 1991 and 1992 seasons. Unlike the Mini 4WD cars, they have rear-wheel-drive drivetrain rather than four-wheel-drive. Exclusive to this line-up is the Mini-F Chassis,
The series was discontinued 3 years after its introduction. Tamiya would later release limited edition, decal-less (due to licensing issues) Mini-F Finished Models in 2006.
